BECAUSE PONIES HAS ITS OWN THREAD AND THE LAST AIRBENDER NEEDS ONE FOR BEING THE GREATEST THING TO HAPPEN TO CARTOONS

I WILL FIGHT ANYONE

Ahem.

So yeah cartoons, there are a lot of them, some are awesome and some suck, but this is the most awesome animated series ever and we should all worship it.

We should also really hope that Legend of Korra is as awesome as it looks like it is going to be.

NOW BOW BEFORE MELON LORD

Seriously who doesn't at least really enjoy this series? Toph alone is reason enough.

Sorry man I thought Iroh went without saying

I was drinking tea with my roomies earlier and we all unanimously decided that our tea time would be eight billion times better with him there spouting philosophical awesomeness. Sigh.

Awesome show.

I'm a bit of a soft touch in general, but I'm pretty sure Iroh's segment from 'Tales of Ba Sing Se' was the first time I cried while watching what is ostensibly a children's cartoon. That's some strong stuff there.

^ YES.

And I think my roomies and I may have woken up our entire floor with our screeching AAAWWWWWWWWs during Iroh and Zuko's reunion in the finale.

Seriously all of the old guys in this series are awesome. White lotus 5ever.

I've never watched much of it. Don't really like the art style.

Also AI, to each their own, I'm just adamant that this series has great characters and plot and is absolutely hilarious while simultaneously awesome and therefore is the best cartoon ever

I have not actually seen the show in a while. I recall the show using story arcs, which will make it hard to just jump in wherever I want. The logical option is to start from the pilot, which I just don't have the time for.

I'd much rather have frothy surprise guy for president.

THAT WOULD BE THE BEST INAUGURAL ADDRESS EVER.
